Klappentext:
They say there are only two things you can count on. But that was before Death started pondering the existential. Of course,the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes anda well-earned gold watch. Now Deathis having the time of his life, findinggreener pastures where he can put hisscythe to a whole new use.
But like every cutback in an importantpublic service, Death\'s demise soon leads to chaos and unrest-literally, for those whose time was supposed to be up, like Windle Poons. The oldest geezer in the entire faculty of Unseen University-home of magic, wizardry, and big dinners-Windle was looking forward to a wonderful afterlife,not this boring been-there-done-that routine. To get the fresh start he deserves,Windle and the rest of Ankh-Morpork\'s undead and underemployed set off to find Death and save the world for the living(and everybody else, of course).
